Old storage boxes aren’t just wooden boxes. They’re pieces of history. Before cheap mass storage appeared, durable vintage trunks with storage were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering. I remember when the circus came to town once a year. Posters glued to walls promised elephants, fire breathers, acrobats — and always clowns. Looking at the trunk feels like it was there backstage, stuffed with costumes and vintage trunk props, waiting for the show to begin.

When I first laid eyes on the circus clown trunk, vintage trunk I stopped in my tracks. The painted face staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a piece of a lost world — a carnival gone by.
